Default SLOW Code...

Hello,

I have been working in excel for a little while now and am able to do a
few things in code but my abilities are still limited. I have a piece of
code that is extremely slow and was looking for help on tracking down the
problem.

I have a tab (Crew Schedules) and a tab (Crew Raw Data). One is for the
crew schedules and the other is for saving a revolving six weeks. When
someone enters data into the crew schedule the 'Change Event' fires - puts
the data just entered into the Crew Raw Data and then puts the formula back
into the cell inorder to lookup th enewly stored data. This is great. All
is well except sometimes a user needs to copy schedule data onto the crew
schedule. The change event fires and runs right but it is VERY SLOW. It can
be minutes depending on the volume of data being pasted. The data will never
be more than 28 rows by 8 columns... but still.

Any ideas on how to move this faster? Here is some code...

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

For Each C In Target

With C

'Lookup Row / Column values
intCol = Cells(5, C.Column).Value
intRow = Cells(C.Row, 26).Value


'Move the data to the database
Worksheets("Crew Raw Data").Cells(intRow, intCol).Value = C.Value

FixFormula:

'Fix the formula
Select Case C.Row
Case 76
C.Formula = "=IF(INDIRECT(" & strQuote & "'Crew Raw Data'!" & _
strQuote & "& ADDRESS($Z" & C.Row & "," & strCol & "$5))=" & _
strQuote & strQuote & ",0,INDIRECT(" & _
strQuote & "'Crew Raw Data'!" & strQuote & " & ADDRESS($Z" & _
C.Row & "," & strCol & "$5)))"
Case Else
C.Formula = "=IF(INDIRECT(" & strQuote & "'Crew Raw Data'!" & _
strQuote & "& ADDRESS($Z" & C.Row & "," & strCol & "$5))=" & _
strQuote & strQuote & "," & strQuote & strQuote & ",INDIRECT(" & _
strQuote & "'Crew Raw Data'!" & strQuote & " & ADDRESS($Z" & _
C.Row & "," & strCol & "$5)))"

End Select

Thanks for looking,
